CA liberal idea of "living within our means"

"Recently the Budget Conference Committee Chairwoman Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa), made a statement nearing the end of the June 16th Budget Conference Committee session that floored even diehard Californians used to the spewing of the liberal elitists in charge.

She said:

"Well, there is this mantra out there âlive within our meansâ, and while that sounds really nice, it sounds really simple, and it sounds really responsible, its meaningless. Our means are completely within our control. And, as has been pointed out by numerous people, we have just recently given away huge corporate subsidies in February, we have given away other tax reductions over many many years weâve created new tax loopholes, in good times we routinely give away taxes, and then in lean times we never replace those tax deductions or close those loopholes. We continuously borrow, which is an enormous cost that we shift on into future years, and we find ourselves now with a deficit that â an ongoing structural deficit that we simply canât close. So, âlive within our meansâ doesnât mean anything. The fact is, we have a state that has a population that have needs, that we have a moral obligation to provide."

That's funny, you didn't seem very upset when your beloved George Bush "loaned" $17.6 BILLION to GM and Chrysler last December.

At least California has an economy that ranks it as one of the most productive economies in the world, based on $1.7 Trillion in 2006. Last time I checked, that would rank it as #10 in the world if it was a Country.

As for GM and Chrysler . . . all they do is lose money. But then again, Bush always did have a penchant for throwing away taxpayer money. How many times did he use his veto pen again?
